If there was ever a way to participate in this without having to put your coins in a wallet where you don't own the private key, it would be a game changer.
It's understandable as people want an asset that has more or less the same growth with Bitcoin. Alts are not really a good alternative as most of the time they got hit harder than bitcoin if something fell off, not to mention when Bitcoin pump they bleed too.
But still, as mentioned above, regardless of the assets or pegged-token on the platform, without a secure contracts/platform then it's very risky. I'd rather wait for the platform and market to mature and have at least enough security to prevent people draining the pool from a tx bug.
